2021 Video Contest Results

Due to COVID-19 Health Emergency the Department of Water Supply was not able to hold its Water Conservation Poster Contest during the 2020-2021 school year. We would like to thank our students, teachers and parents for their participation and support of our water conservation program and we look forward to restarting the contest in the future.

The department did hold the 5th Annual Source Protection Video Contest, which was open to Maui County middle and high school students. A total of 24 varied and thoughtful video entries were received from five different middle and high schools on Maui. 

This year’s contest theme was “A Clean Water Story: What Goes Around, Comes Around”, and entries were judged by a panel of DWS staff and local video production professionals. The winners received Certificates of Participation from the Mayor and some great prizes!

DWS will continue to offer these contests to our Maui County students to foster awareness about the importance of water conservation, source protection and what we can all do to sustain our water resources. We look forward to seeing students continue to participate and challenge themselves in our upcoming Poster & Video Contests to learn and teach our next generation about how important and indispensable water is in our lives. 

Lastly, student participation in the DWS Poster & Video Contests would not be possible without the tireless efforts from all of our Maui County teachers and parents who selflessly donate their time to help their students and children succeed in everything they do. Our sincerest MAHALO for their support of our keiki and of the Department of Water Supply’s efforts to conserve and protect our water resources... because “By Water All Things Find Life”.

Congratulations to the 2021 Source Protection Video Contest winners and their teachers. Please take a moment to enjoy the students work, below:
